The College values its students highly and, in all its actions, strives to build an environment where students can succeed and thrive. It takes pride in a collegial community of faculty and staff who are encouraged and supported in their work to solve the pressing public health problems that plague the region and the nation.

Diversity of thought and diversity among our students, staff and faculty, is woven into the fabric of the culture of the College. Since its creation in July of 2004, these guiding principles have helped the University of Kentucky College of Public Health make significant progress in achieving its academic, research and service goals and objectives.
